Joe Chapman Drums and Vocals

Joe began playing drums with his father way back in 1963 when he was only 11. He still remembers his first song, Jim Reeve's Bimbo.

His musical career has spanned 44 years taking him through many genres and bands.

Joe's country influences include Garth Brooks, Vince Gill and Willie Nelson.

In recent years Joe worked with Oxfordshire based Ridgeway Country and had a short spell with a Hawkwind Tribute band before very comfortably returning to his country roots.Recently he has depped with The Big River Band, Union Revival and Henry Smith's Country Dreams.

Even more recently he has shaved his moustach off after 37 years and he believes this gives him a more streamlined performance.
